Which should you buy?

The new Surface Pro for Business (12th Edition) doesn't reinvent the device, but it does update the performance hardware to the latest Intel "Panther Lake" Core Ultra Series 3 chips. The hardware update, alongside the usual enterprise security features, makes the new Surface Pro (2026) ideal for professionals who prefer an x86 system. Microsoft has stated that it plans to release a new Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 chips in the coming months, and I expect that it will offer superior performance and efficiency. As it stands now, the best option for regular Windows users remains the Su

A new Surface Pro just landed, but is it really an upgrade? I compare the Pro for Business (12th Edition) to the Surface Pro 11 to find out.
